Abstract • Starting with the early 1990’s, almost from nothing, a set of global networks were created with stunning speed and equally stunning commitment of capital • These networks and servers reach over 3 Billion people on the planet • They account for well over half the business activity of service providers • Mobile services involve components touching many technologies, which are on exponential trajectories • We have seen an explosion of devices, services, and applications • Consumers and users of these services have often surprised us with what they will spend money on • The impact on people’s lives and institutions has been profound
Abstract (cont’d) We are about to embark on the next chapter of the mobile revolution where the global impact on the way we live and interact with each other will be even more dramatic New unifying infrastructure build around LTE and IP Extension to direct communication between devices A driving force in economic growth around the world affecting all industries, governments, and individuals Change in people’s life styles Changes in who the players are for us in the industry A global shift in where research and development will occur
